SPECTACLE-FRAME.

i Speccation of Letters Patent No. 8,191, dated July` 1, 1851;

To all 'whom t may/concern.'

Be it knowny that I, JOHN P. PAINE, of the city and countyof Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have made certain` new and Luseful Improvements in Spectacle Frames, of which the following is a full and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making partof this specification, the same letters indicating the same parts in all the figures.

The nature of my invention consists in so combining a steel spring,- with the joint and temple of the frame as to secure ease to the wearer and safety to the'frame, the construction being as follows The temple bow (A) cut about'half an inch shorter than the fro-nt or glass frame, has a plain flat spring `(B) 0f a suitable`strength and elasticity rivetedor soldered tothe joint end of it, and on the outer end of this spring cured a cylindrical bar (C) and either half (which should half an inch long'` from the junction of it with the .temple bow) is sej of the joint (D Fig. '2) is countersunk, so A as to receive the bar 1), and they make an opening 2) wide and long to"'per.mit` the spring and temple. bow `to traverse or move freely the required distance, asshown incoinbination by Fig. 3.

What I claim asmyuinvention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the spring B and cyl-` inder C with the templebow A and the glass frame, the `whole being substantially as specified.`
